Conan: Death is Watching Me

Chapter 85 Person 3

The hottest part of the afternoon is over.

A cool breeze finally blew on Izu Beach.

After the tour group's initial meeting, everyone returned to their hotel rooms with their own thoughts, either enjoying the beautiful sunset or pondering the identity of the Dark Night Baron.

Of course, there are also people whose minds are not focused on the activities at all.

Room 2101.

The fear in the eyes of Jiang Yuan Shinan, who had long hair and a small mustache, never faded.

His eyes were fixed on the two case reports displayed on the hotel computer screen.

"Supermarket case: Matsumoto Aya committed suicide in prison, drowning herself in a washbasin, suspected of hallucinations..."

"In the TV location crew incident, photographer Anzai tragically died after slipping in front of the Anzai Shrine. Was it a coincidence or the god of death? There are reports that he had met Matsumoto Aya..."

"Haha?" Jiang Yuan Shinan's forehead was covered with sweat. "What kind of death god? It must be all a rumor!"

No matter what the real God of Death or Shiroto Gaomo did.

It has nothing to do with him.

He just did some tricks on the Internet and no one could find him.

"Yes, I destroyed all traces long ago."

Jiang Yuan Shinan's smile was unpleasant.

But why? Why did Shiroto Gao Mo happen to join the tour group?
"I shouldn't be... Calm down, that guy doesn't even know me! Even if... it's hard to say who kills who!"

……

at the same time.

Room 1903.

Gao Mo also noticed the news of Matsumoto Aya's suicide.

I couldn't help but recall Matsumoto Aya's curse.

Now he is really waiting in hell.

At the time, Anzai could be said to have died for him, but Matsumoto Aya didn't know what happened.

Really committing suicide?

That woman...it doesn't seem impossible.

Maybe he wants to turn into a ghost to cause trouble for him - but unfortunately there are no ghosts in this world.

There are so many cases and not even a ghost can be seen.

Tsk.

Without wasting too much time on this, Gao Mo turned his attention to an email from Furuya Ling.

It is detailed survey information about all the members of the tour group.

The main target of the investigation was Maeda Satoshi's girlfriend, but the information of other people was also sent to Rei Furuya.

This work ability... is really impressive.

Fortunately, he is no longer a worker.

"clatter!"

Gao Mo opened the email and read it carefully.

Akiko Sayama, Satoshi Maeda's girlfriend and fiancée, is a 24-year-old high school math teacher.

Three years ago, Sayama Akiko's brother committed suicide by jumping off a building. It's suspected that this was because the company's important software was stolen and sold by Ehara Tokio, resulting in a cash shortage...

Jiang Yuan Shinan, 32 years old, is a computer programmer who secretly made illegal profits as a hacker.

Gao Mo looked at the specially marked information about "Jiang Yuan Shinan" and his pupils dilated for a moment. It took him a while to regain his composure.

Also three years ago, after the software theft incident was exposed, Jiang Yuan Shinan manipulated the Internet to create a sensational "popular idol sexual harassment" incident and received multiple large sums of money afterwards.

Fūya Rei specifically investigated the case from a few years ago. The information is detailed and it seems that it has been going on for more than a day or two. It is possible that the investigation has been going on since I met him.

Although he is now a new life, it is obviously unrealistic to say that he doesn't care about the past.

Otherwise, the Beika Shrine would not have used the death rule to send Anxi to death early, and almost got itself involved.

At this time, Furuya Rei sent it to him...

Gao Mo leaned back on the sofa, hugged his knees and fell into deep thought.

You don’t need to look at anything else.

Ehara Tokio, also known as the one with long hair and mustache, is the real target of this event, and the others are just there to make up the numbers.

The organizer is deliberately using event rewards to fish.

The so-called valuable software is most likely just a cover.

It is very likely that Maeda Satoshi's girlfriend wanted to take this opportunity to kill someone for revenge.

"Xiao Ai fell asleep."

Dr. Agasa walked out of the bedroom with a sad face.

"It was fine when I came here, how come it became like this again?"

"Dong dong!"

There was suddenly a knock on the door.

"It's me, Maeda Satoshi. Is Dr. Agasa here?" "Yes."

Gao Mo gathered his thoughts from his memories and watched the doctor open the door to welcome in Maeda Satoshi.

"Regarding the commission," Maeda Satoshi asked anxiously, "I wonder how the investigation is going?"

"I'll forward the information to you, you can take a look at it yourself."

Gao Mo intercepted a fragment of Furuya Rei's email and forwarded it through the email address left by Maeda Satoshi.

"It's up to you to decide what to do... I won't call the police, but think it over for yourself."

"Mingzi..."

After reading the message, Maeda Satoshi's face changed drastically. He sat aside silently and didn't move for a long time.

Just as Gao Mo's fingers touched the pistol in his arms, Maeda Satoshi finally breathed a sigh of relief, stood up with melancholy and thanked him: "Thank you for your trouble. I will find a way to stop Mingzi. I hope you don't tell her that I asked the detective to investigate."

"of course."

Gao Mo watched Maeda Satoshi leave.

I didn't feel any malice...and not all Conan characters are so destructive to your worldview.

"So there's no such thing as a mysterious program?" Dr. Agasa was quite disappointed. "And puzzle-solving is just a tool to commit crimes?"

"Doctor, didn't you say you just wanted to relax?"

"That's right."

Time passed quickly and it was night.

The sea turned dark and only a few people were left on the beach.

The bar and open-air restaurant on the second floor gradually became lively.

The tour group contacted Dr. Agasa to go downstairs for dinner. They seemed to not believe that Gao Mo, the "detective", would not participate in the event and wanted to test the waters from Dr. Agasa.

"Let's go together and ignore those people."

"What should I do with Ai?"

"Let her have a good rest and don't get involved in the case."

Gao Mo glanced back at the bedroom.

He also didn't expect to meet Gin and his duo here.

Not only did it fail to help Xiao Ai get out of the shadow of her sister's death, but it deepened it further.

In the original work, Gin was the executor of Akemi Miyano's death, and this fear seems to have become Ai's nightmare.

Gaining future memories isn't all good.

Especially when you can only watch the tragedy repeat itself...

"Squeak!"

As Gao Mo and Dr. Agasa left the room, the bedroom door opened a crack, and Xiao Ai, wearing pajamas, stood barefoot at the door, her little face full of fear.

She dreamed of her own death.

I dreamed that Gao Mo and Dr. A Li fell from a high altitude with me and were smashed to pieces.

She was the one who brought Death here...

The one in danger is not Gao Mo, but herself.

“He has come…”

……

"call!"

Open-air restaurant.

As soon as Gao Mo passed through the entrance, he felt the wind sound a little strange, as if something was coming with the wind.

Is the rule of death coming so soon?

It shouldn't happen so soon, as it's usually triggered only after the case is concluded.

I subconsciously looked around and found that except for the man with long hair and mustache, everyone else in the tour group had arrived.

Maeda Satoshi and his fiancée Akiko were also there. It looked like they had had an argument, and there were obvious tear marks on Akiko Sayama's face.

It seems that something really happened to Jiang Yuan Shinan.

That guy was already infected with the aura of death, so he is indeed a bit special...

"Move aside," an annoying voice passed by from behind. "What's there to see? Could the Night Baron actually drop from the sky?"

"Ehara Tokio?"

Gao Mo paused and turned his head sharply to look at the rogue-looking man with long hair and a mustache.

This guy is over here, and that one is...

"What for?" Jiang Yuan Shinan felt uneasy when he was looked at by Gao Mo. He snorted coldly, "I'm not the Dark Night Baron!"

"call--!"

The wind overhead intensified.

Gao Mo looked up at the sky again, and his eyes suddenly narrowed when he thought of Xiao Ai who was alone in the hotel room.

The target of the Death Rule was neither him nor Jiang Yuan Shi Nan.
